France's Top Court Approves Macron's Controversial Pension Reform Bill.

France's Constitutional Council has approved President Emmanuel Macron's controversial pensions reform bill, which raises the legal age of retirement to 64 from 62. However, it blocked several other measures, including a "senior index" aimed at encouraging the employment of senior workers. The ruling is a victory for Macron, but it is unlikely to quell the protest movement that has rocked France in recent months. Some trade unions have warned they will continue protesting the pensions reform. The partial turning down of the bill opens the door for more talks between the government and the trade unions.
